It is naptime at the pond and the Daddy and Mommy frogs would like all baby frogs to get some rest on the Big Water Lily. However the baby frogs still want to play. They try to be the first to hop around the pond and cross the 11 small water lilies without being seen by the adult frogs.

This game is very cute. It takes no time at all to set up and learn the rules. The game is very durable and even the box is well constructed. We played with a three year old and two five year olds. All three of them caught onto the rules quickly and it didn't take long to complete a game. They giggled like crazy every time they were able to move their frogs. It's also a game that isn't mind-numbingly boring for an adult to play. I purchased a set for my daughter and then got another set for my niece and nephew. It's one of the better games I've purchased for my kids.

I bought this today for my niece's birthday (tomorrow). We opened it up on the SI Ferry and played a quick game between me (an adult), her (five years tomorrow!), and her sister (two years, seven months).

It took up only one seat on the Ferry (though that was by us being very economical in our space), so it can be played even under crowded conditions.

Both children grasped the concept of the game easily, and were able to keep close pace during the game - nobody felt very left behind for the entire game. Even if you have a bad memory and can't remember which eyes "see" the baby frogs, you still have a 50% chance of a lucky guess, which really levels the playing field for everybody. In order to level out the lucky guesses some we instituted a rule that you can't move more than three spaces per turn, even if you keep guessing right.

The game only took about ten minutes - good for a quick game, but not for when you want the kids to stay quiet while you shower or something. For added challenge, you could, perhaps, have everybody run the race twice.

I do have a caveat. There are a lot of pieces to this game - 18 eyes, nine adult frogs, six baby frogs, 12 lilypads, two dice - all of which can easily become lost. If you're not very well organized, or if your children tend to get into everything and spill them around and lose stuff under the fridge and the couch, I would suggest you get another game, something where a lost piece isn't quite so dire.

Edit: As it happens, you can purchase spare pieces from the manufacturer, and contact information for them is noted in the instructions for this game. This is especially good for me - my game was, I found out, accidentally packaged with the wrong proportion of blank and "caught you" eyes!

We bought this for our four year old daughter, but were pleasantly surprised when we found our nine year son was even keener to play it despite some initial reluctance! Definitely teaches memory skills, and adults may find yourself beaten by the younger members of the family.
